  1. 6 runs

    Superchargers 88-5

    Need 84 more

    David Miller hits another maximum.

    At least, he is not giving up this chase.

  2. Phoenix heading to defeat against Spirit

    Women's competition: Bimringham Spirit 58-7 against London Spirit (target 165)

    Birmingham Spirit look set to lose for the fourth time in five games, sliding to 58-7 against London Spirit.

    Their last recognised batter, wicketkeeper Amy Jones, was bowled by her England team-mate Charlie Dean before the spinner had Mary Taylor trapped lbw two balls later.

    They still need 107 runs to win - the record margin of defeat in the competition is 82...

  3. Superchargers 82-5

    Need 90 more

    Brilliant effort from Noor Ahmad to rein them in after that expensive over from Scott Currie.

    Only two runs conceded by the left-armer.

    Superchargers require 90 runs from 40 balls.

  4. Lydia Greenway
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2

    That's huge. David Miller's taken his bottom hand off the bat as he hit that. It's gone such a long way. Great elevation.

  5. 6 runs

    Superchargers 80-5

    Need 92 more

    An expensive set from Scott Currie - 17 runs coming from it.

    And it's all from David Miller, including two fours and a huge six over the mid-wicket.

    He has shifted into a higher gear here with the required run rate mounting for Superchargers.

  6. Lydia Greenway
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2

    That is brilliant from Sonny Baker! Dawid Mallan was just trying to pull a delivery that perhaps wasn't quite short enough or kept a little bit too low.

    Either way, he is on his way back to the pavilion. That's a big blow for Northern Superchargers.

    They need more than two runs per ball so they need to really put their foot down now.

    Malan b Baker 19 (Superchargers 63-5)

    Sonny Baker of Manchester Originals celebrates with team mate Noor Ahmad after taking the wicket of Dawid MalanGetty Images

    Sonny Baker cleans him up!

    The slower ball from the young pacer does the trick as Dawid Malan tries to swing across but misses and pays a heavy price.

    A crucial wicket for Originals as Superchargers' fortunes look bleak at the halfway stage.

  8. Superchargers 59-4

    Need 113 more

    Sonny Baker is back for Originals.

  9. Superchargers 59-4

    Scott Currie posted figures of 3-21 against Welsh Fire on Wednesday.

    And he keeps things tight in this set, conceding just five runs and keeping the boundary away.

  10. Lydia Greenway
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2

    A really good 10 deliveries from Noor Ahmad. He is just showing why he is so sought after in franchise cricket.

    He has so much variation, he has a brilliant orthodox delivery but he also has the googly as well.

  11. Lydia Greenway
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2

    Another classy shot from Dawid Malan!

    He is that sort of player, isn't he? He is a touch player and he times the ball really well. I wouldn't say he is a player that bludgeons the ball, but he always hits with class.

  12. Superchargers 54-4

    Need 118 more

    Noor Ahmad balls 10 on the trot.

    Some cheeky bit of batting from Dawid Malan as he reverse-laps the second ball of the set to the boundary through third.

  13. Lydia Greenway
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2

    That's a lovely shot from David Miller!

    It was just so wristy. That bottom hand just came through and he broke his wrist through the ball to drive it on the off side. There was a deep boundary rider out there but he wasn't quite straight enough to cut it off.

  14. Superchargers 47-4

    Need 125 more

    David Miller joins forces with Dawid Malan in the middle for Superchargers.

    And the South African is off the mark with a four, creaming it through cover from Noor Ahmad's penultimate delivery.

  15. Phoenix struggle in chase

    Women's competition: Bimringham Spirit 38-3 against London Spirit (target 165)

    Birmingham Phoenix continue to labour in their chase of 165 against London Spirit, losing two more batters in the space of nine balls.

    Emma Lamb was run out for 23 by Issy Wong, attempting a second run after pushing to square leg, then Kira Chathli took her second catch of the match to remove Ellyse Perry off Charli Knott.

    WinViz sees both games as foregone conclusions at this point.

    Will there be a dramatic turnaround at either?

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Lawrence lbw b Ahmad 1 (Superchargers 42-4)

    Pitching in line and clipping the off stump, and Dan Lawrence has to walk here.

    He went for a reverse sweep and missed it completely.

    It's not looking good for Superchagers.

  18. Superchargers review

    Superchargers 42-3

    Have Originals got another one here?

    Noor Ahmad comes into the attack and traps Dan Lawrence in front of the wicket.

    It's given out on the field but Lawrence sends it upstairs.

  19. Samit Patel
    Former Trent Rockets & England all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2

    That was a little bit top-edgy. A nice piece of bowling from Rachin Ravindra and a great catch from Matthew Hurts, his second catch of the game.

    Ravindra has come on and got the breakthrough wicket of the dangerous Harry Brook.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Brook c Hurst b Ravindra 1 (Superchargers 41-3)

    And Rachin Ravindra makes an instant impact.

    Making his Hundred debut, the New Zealand international gets the big wicket of Superchargers captain Harry Brook.

    Originals well and truly on top now!
